Healthcare

Healthcare should be an unalienable right, not a privilege. Our current representative was one of the architects of the disastrous repeal and replace legislation that would have put over 20,000,000 off their health insurance. He helped gather the votes that would have made draconian cuts to Medicaid. Most studies showed that those most negatively affected would have been the sick and the elderly. We should seek to improve the Affordable Care Act, with an eye to transitioning to a universal, single payer option. I will fight to ensure that every American receives quality healthcare. The goal is Medicare for all. No person should ever have to make a healthcare choice about a loved one or themselves based on a monetary concern, nor should those choices bankrupt them.
